Each year, as July draws to a close, NFL teams gear up for the start of training camp. While some teams stick close to home, others opt for more remote locations to focus and bond. The Cleveland Browns chose the secluded beauty of White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, setting up camp at the historic Greenbrier Resort. Nestled in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains, this location offered a unique blend of calmness and majestic natural beauty.

After an intense practice, followed by meetings, the players had time to unwind. While some turned to tennis, ping-pong, cards, or video games, I found my escape by exploring the landscape. The peaceful surroundings and distinctive scenery were opportunities I couldn’t pass up. From the rolling hills and the manicured gardens to the classic architecture, there was endless inspiration. Every walk became a chance to document the quiet elegance of this hidden gem, a place where I could fully immerse myself in my craft while finding a calm contrast to the intensity of the football field.
